Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick Is The Best Drugstore Lipstick

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick: Chapped lips are no match for this hydrating lip color.

I love a red lip, but the formula has to be right. After all, the various candy apple, stop sign, blood, and brick red lipsticks seem to scream, “Hey, look here!” So I look for lip color that both nourishes and perfects as it makes a statement. Yes, the color should be rich, but I also need it to smooth lip lines to feel comfortable (I suffer from dry lips), and to stay put for at least a few good hours of wear (preferably longer).

Launched in the 1950s, Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick has been handed down through the generations. The iconic red lipstick shades of Cherries In The Snow, Certainly Red, and Fire and Ice are show stopping favorites and nourishing as well. Whatever the shade, Revlon Super Lustrous definitely packs moisture and is comfy for even very chapped lips, but how about pigment and long wear?

Promises vs. Performance: America’s #1 lipstick has big color and moisture.

Best selling Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick hosts a heft product claims for a drugstore lippie. The self professed top lip color brand in the country promises a lipstick that is vibrant, lush, and creamy, and one that packs a moisture punch. These benefits are the product of Revlon’s pairing of super fine pigments and nourishing ingredients like vitamin E and avocado oil in every tube. Even better, the brand claims this formula feels lightweight and won’t cake.

How does Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick wear?

The moisturizing properties of Super Lustrous can be noticed right away on application. It glides on with ease and feels so nice on the lips that a second swipe is inevitable, regardless of desired pigment. The finish is very, well, lustrous. The shininess of this product seems to wash the pigment out just a bit, but it still gives near opaque coverage in just one swipe. Revlon doesn’t have any wear claims for this lipstick, but, in my experience, it has a solid 4 hour wear time before it begins fading. It isn’t resistant to eating and drinking, so you will need to apply after doing so.

How It Compares: Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick is a drugstore queen.

Super Lustrous Lipstick is arguably the best drugstore lipstick of its kind, and the people agree: a tube of this blazing beauty sells every four minutes. The creamy, vivid color and buttery lip hydration comes in an incomparable range of hues (91 in original cream and pearl finishes, and 164 total in the Super Lustrous line, including matte and high shine lipstick and lip gloss). Revlon has everything you need in an affordable lip collection.

Milabu Method: How to wear Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick.

Here are some easy tips for maximum color payoff and wear time with this lipstick.

1. Apply a matching or neutral lip pencil along your lip edge (NYX makes a bomb lip pencil for just $4). Use short, gentle strokes, depositing just enough product to even out and sharpen your lip borders.
2. Lightly fill your entire lips with liner. This will both increase your lipstick wear time and provide a base for bolder color payoff.
3. Apply the lipstick straight from the tube. No need to pull out a lip brush: Your liner work will make this look just defined enough.
